Special classes in school

[Erdrick Holmes]

No, I don't mean special education classes for people with learning disablilities. I'm talking about when you were in school did you take some sort of class that was sorta advanced and not easy to get into?

About two years ago I took robotics, I got a B in that class. Funnest class I had ever taken. We made a few animatronic robots that we stuck little animal puppets onto, we made an animatronic monkey puppet, we made it's head move back and forth, stuck a piece of copper rod in it's hand and made him swing it like it was a musical conductor. We started making little mobile robots with wheels that move when activated, I still have my robot but I have to find a way to put a remote sensor on the breadboard. At the end of the year the class divided into 6 teams and we all made sumo wresting robots and made them compete, the robot my team built had a wooden body with a steel floor with the car battery mounted on it for power, we painted it pink for laughs and made it compete, when it was trying to push the other robot out of the ring it sorta looked like it was humping it.

The next year I took network administration and Windows 2000 certification. I having completed it yet but I'm studying at home to get my cert after I get out of high school

I went to a few maths ones in several of my years at high school. Some were at another local high school, though two of them I went to were sort of boarding school-like in another town, a week each.

When I was in 12th grade I took Buisnees Law and Buisness Managment...Anyone can get in but there were only about 8 people there and the teacher wasnt mean but had about the hardest class I ever took. I took it because I like learning about how buisness's work. (*evil voice-I will own a music shop some day Muahahaha) . Our school was very cheap so we didnt have cool robotics classes, im jealous. That class and Sociology gave me the most out of my highschool education. They were very difficult but the most fun to learn about.

I'm, I'm, I'm feeling faint...

It's not really an advanced class, but it was a unique class. I took scuba diving in college for one of my PE credits and it was a blast. I took all of the advanced/AP classes in high school too, but those aren't really advanced or special anymore.

AP for me too. I also took a computer repair class, which was devoted to playing Counter Strike during the semester.

AP European History, Honors English 9-11, AP English 12, AP Computer Science, CHS Calc 12 (College in High School). I can't remember if there were any others in HS. In college I took the only honors CS class they offered, which was a robotics class.

My school sucked, so the best they could give you is the option to take an 8th grade level class while in 7th, or an 11th grade level class while in 10th, and so on. I took them all one year ahead of time except for some of later math classes because I decided not to go to math anymore.

[Kirobaito]

Let's see, I take all honors classes, but beyond that, I'm taking AP US History this year. Probably by the end of high school, I'll have taken the following:

AP US History
AP European History
AP Calculus
AP Statistics
AP English 4
AP English 5
AP Spanish 4
AP Government
AP Economics

There will probably be more, but that's all I plan on for now.

We had a 'streaming' style in high school. Meaning there were advanced, general, and basic level courses for every (major) class, like math, english, science....um...some other stuff I'm sure. I never took anything other than advanced.

When I was in my last year, they no longer had advanced stuff. It was just 'OAC (gr 13)' courses, but the young'ins had something that is probably the same as AP courses. And they still had the streaming style. So those people were just geeks :D

[Strider]

AP Language and Composition
AP Statistics
AP Calculus AB
AP U.S. History
AP U.S. Government

What made some of 'em kinda cool was that I was in the class the first year they were offered, so the teachers -- more often than not -- didn't really know where to go, so we got a lot of free time. Good stuff.

Advanced World Domination class, at the Megalomaniacs' School.

Advanced World Domination class, at the Megalomaniacs' School.

I hear that the fees for the supplies for that class are outrageous.

[Peegee]

World domination at our stage of 'civilisation' is ludicrously expensive. Why, back in my day, all we needed was a few hundred thousand men and a pile of bow/arrows. All we had to do was cut down some woodland areas and we were set.

What's this? I need Plutonium? And technicians? And scienticians? To hell with this!
